Independence for Geeta: pair of hearing aids
A pair of hearing aids would give Geeta independence - we're $900 away.
🇮🇳 New Delhi, Delhi, India1,594 views
I live with a rare neuromuscular condition. My occupational therapist at New Delhi General Hospital has assessed me and recommended a pair of hearing aids. The public scheme doesn't cover it, and the quote from the supplier is $900.
My current equipment is 10 years old and keeps breaking, which has confined me to home for 10 weeks.
With the right equipment I could join the school sports day. It would change my everyday life and my ability to work from home.
We've applied to two charities already and received small contributions; this campaign covers the rest.
I'll pay the supplier directly from the funds, and I'll post a photo once the equipment is delivered.
Where the $900 goes:
• First-year servicing plan: $20
• pair of hearing aids: $860
• Fitting and training sessions: $20
Thanks for reading all this.

Sending good thoughts, Geeta. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of New Delhi.
It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of New Delhi.

Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. After 10 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Muzaffarpur.
